NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to ss. 227.17 and 227.24 (4), Stats., the State of Wisconsin Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing on proposed permanent rule Wisconsin Administrative Code ch. Trans 2 relating to the Administration of Grant Programs to Administer Federal and State Funds for Transportation for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities. HEARING INFORMATION:
Date: Friday, July 12, 2019
Time: 10:00 a.m.
Location: Hill Farms State Office Building
4822 Madison Yards Way, Room S147
Madison, WI 53705
Appearances at the Hearing and Submittal of Written Comments: Interested persons are invited to appear at the hearing and will be afforded the opportunity to make an oral presentation of their positions. Persons making oral presentations are requested to submit their written comments.

Accommodations will be made available upon request to the fullest extent possible.
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis: The proposed rule is expected to have an economic impact on small businesses. By broadening the type of projects allowed under ch. Trans 2, the proposed changes would allow s. 85.22, Stats. funds be awarded to small private non-profit agencies that provide specialized transportation service to seniors and individuals with disabilities. There are no implementation costs expected or additional work for the non-profits applying for s. 85.22, Stats. funds.
